Until Lego approves my proposal for a Guild Navigator set, the Lego Dune Ornithopter is the only model based on Frank Herbert’s sci-fi saga. If you’d like to add the official ride of House Atreides to your shelf, you can pick up this set for its lowest price ever on Amazon. Right now, this winged flying machine is on sale for just $143.99 (was $164.99), but this is just one of dozens of sets currently discounted as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
Explicitly based on the Ornithopter design used by House Atreides in the latest Dune films, this 1,369-piece replica features retractable wings and landing gear, as well as a fully modeled cockpit with room for a pilot and co-pilot. Fully assembled, the model has a 31-inch wingspan when extended and measures 22 inches from tip to tail.
There are plenty of cool details to enjoy with this particular set, provided you can find space for it on your curio shelf, but the biggest selling point for me is the collection of the Minifigs included. I mean, where else are you going to find tiny models of Gurney Halleck, Duke Leto, Stilgar, Chani, Paul Atreides, Liet-Kynes, Lady Jessica, and an absolutely massive Baron Harkonnen?
